yes, dietary cholesterol is not as strongly correlated with blood cholesterol than most people realize.
this is going one step further. "total blood cholesterol" / LDL-P are not nearly as correlated with heart disease than most people realize either. particle size is far more important, as well as HDL/triglycerides ratio.
most doctors will refuse to test for the former, nor know how to read the results if you test it yourself.
all of this is context dependent with the rest of your metabolism, too. If you avoid carbs and sugars and have a low-inflammation environment, that also has implications for atherosclerosis that "total cholesterol" alone doens't take into account.
briefly: the statin scam goes a few layers deeper than just dietary cholesterol
